Created: 2015-03-12 00:00:00

The independent testing organization in its in-depth report found the design and functionality of the new business security products by ESET “outstanding”.

ESET®, a global pioneer in proactive protection for more than two decades, announces the availability of two independent, in-depth security software reviews for the next-generation business products - ESET Endpoint Security and ESET Remote Administrator. The reviews were conducted by the globally recognized independent testing organization AV-Comparatives.

AV-Comparatives were very impressed with both the functionality and the user interface of this security product. While it retains the simplicity of the earlier versions, AV-Comparatives commended the modern look of the product’s new design, which has been optimized throughout for use with touchscreens.

The testing organization also highlighted the design of the status display, saying it was both clear and provided an easy means of reactivating disabled components. Additionally, the review says that ESET Endpoint Security warnings were “clear and practical, and the software has been secured against removal or deactivation by unauthorized users.

The report highlights the completely new, modern design of the product and found that installation, customization and deployment were simple. “We found the design and functionality of the ESET Remote Administrator to be outstanding,” concludes the AV-Comparatives report.

They also noted that security statuses, shown via a number of colorful pie charts, allowed the administrator to find important items easily – finding that the design avoids overwhelming the user.

The report concludes by the findings: “Overall we feel ESET have done a tremendous job of making a console that is powerful enough to cope with thousands of clients, but simple enough to use in SMBs as well.”

“We’ve been working on the next-generation business products for a long time, conducted in-depth interviews with our customers to better understand what their real needs are and how to make their lives using our products much easier. The result of our hard work is now available globally and we are happy to have our work recognized by AV-Comparatives,” said Michal Jankech, Product Manager at ESET.“Moreover, our completely redesigned and re-engineered business product portfolio is now not only visually appealing but also allows IT managers to do more by drilling down to the smallest details, setting up processes automatically and enables them to work remotely thanks to our new web-based console ESET Remote Administrator.”
